82nd Academy Awards
A few remarkable quotes from past Academy Award ceremonies are remembered long after the news cycle associated with the event, and they should be quoted in articles about the people who said them. There aren't, and they shouldn't. — Ningauble 18:49, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete as nom. ~ Ningauble 18:49, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom. I completely agree - most of these quotes are not really memorable, and the ones that might be should be on the page of the speaker. ~ UDScott 19:05, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. These are easily sourced quotes, at least some of which are pithy and memorable. Those by the hosts should not be attributed to them, since they are typically scripted. We should, at the very least, have a page compiling notable quotes arising from all Oscar ceremonies. BD2412 T 23:33, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, this page has no place here all because the page fails manual of style.(StarWarsFanBoy 04:07, 26 March 2010 (UTC))
 * Comment Sorry if my creating that page wasn't in line with Wikiquote guidelines, guys. This was my first time editing this project. The reason I moved them here from the Wikipedia article on that subject is because WP:QUOTE indicated that they did not belong there, and should be moved to Wikiquote, though I didn't have knowledge beyond that on which page these quotes would be appropriate.

 * That's ok, it is a bit of a judgment call and, as you can see, we are not entirely unanimous. BD2412 is a highly respected, major contributor here! ~ Ningauble 20:54, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Here's what I would propose at this point. Move the entry to Academy Awards ceremonies, cull out those quotes that the community agrees are not really quoteworthy, and add notable quotes from previous ceremonies. BD2412 T 23:49, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
